Today, i woke up 9.30am and found out my housemate already cooking something in the kitchen. I just got up brush my teeth,wash my face sikit2 and boil water. My housemate already done cooking rice n simple dish- telor dadar. Well, we haven’t got a fridge yet at this moment so fancy cooking is still unavailable. I make my own cup of milo n i made some ikan bilis goreng (fried anchovies) with chopped onion n cili padi.  Then of cos in front of tv we sit and enjoy our meal. Though it wasn’t so much, the simple dish made us happy. It’s not really the cost or the way food was cook but there’s something else that made us tempted. Haha..might be we were very hungry that time or we just too lazy to cook complicated stuff.. I think the answer would be the latter one..  

Btw, same goes everytime i goes back to kampong. The usual dish would just be ikan sepat goreng, sometimes the salted one with sambal belacan and pucuk ubi rebus. Might be gross to some people who never did live in kampong before. But we had that for every meal; breakfast, lunch and dinner. Best thing if the fish we caught ourselves from the sawah padi. They (the fish) tastes differently from the one we bought at the market. Cos they were fresh and does not smell like those from market which were breed in kolam.  I’m just missing my childhood years spent helping my grandma planting paddy and washing and dipping ourselves in the muddy soil while we were trying to catch fish at the same time.. It’s a nice feeling remembering all those sweet memories. As now so much changes were done and we don’t find a lot of fish anymore. The paddy field is still there only that less manpower needed to work it out. Everything is done by mac-hine now. And more young people no longer stays in kampong. Only the elderly runs everything and if they gone one day kampong will become apart of our history. Inside our kids textbook.
